Atheism and Purpose

[Edward the Theist]

Swing and a miss my friend. If it explains what you claim it's going to require a hell of a lot of math and physics knowledge to prove, not to mention testing. That's going to get scientific peer review, and if we can't test or prove it then it's useless, I will admit though I am quite curious to read it.

No, not just providing rationales for consciousness being external to central nervous systems. It's pretty straight forward. The entire cosmology will have mathematical models and philosophical arguments and hopefully make some predictions that if proved will confirm its validity. It may even have some profound religious implications, but that's a ways off.

This paper is just the first step. It's the rationale for even considering consciousness to be one of the primordial forces, because if consciousness is not external to the CNS, then it can't be a primordial force. So, I was glad to be challenged a few days ago to produce it, because it has kind of kicked things off for me. I'm just editing it now and formatting it in PDF. It should be up on my website, and blog by tomorrow, and I'll post a link to the PDF in here.

It will be interesting to see what atheists think of it.

I gave you kudos because two out of three of the quotes you posted in the above post are indeed kinda silly and are by atheists.

(It is in no way because of the atheism of the atheist(s) in question though of course. Atheism is merely being without theism: Without belief in God. You seem to fail to understand that so far).

I think I gave you kudos as well for giving me kudos. I'm still figuring out how all this works. What I'd like to know is what happened to my reputation points. I think I was up to -7. Perhaps they just reset, or do they wear off after a certain time?

I hope they weren't just erased because they looked more cool than yall's green positive points. Why do I get the feeling that's exactly what happened, though?
